Hi Linda:
I was just looking at your website on Family Tree Maker. You have the following:
(I think it's under where you have Pochantas lineage):
John Marion Barber (b. 1836):
1st. md. Malvina Spaw
2nd. md. Emily Spaw
3rd. md. Matilda Wesley
4th. md. Sophia Wesley

John was only Married 2 times.
John M. Barber (b. 1836) "1st. married" 1855 to Malvina (Spaw).
He "2nd. married" 1892 to Sophia (Wesley) Warren.

As for Emily, she was living in the household with John in the 1870 Census of Casey Co.,
Ky. - shown as Housekeeper. / 1880 Census of Casey Co., Ky. they were still living in
the same household, except this time, it shows her as his "wife." I have found absolutely
no "Legal Documents" showing a marriage for these two. But if Kentucky in that time
frame recognized "Common-Law" than they may have been common-law; but still no
documents has ever been located for them.

As for Matilda, her & John were NEVER married, or never lived together. Yes they had
a son together, but there absolutely no "Legal Documents" even showing that. The child
had told one of his children or grandchildren that his father was John Barber.

I am a descendant from John & Malvina. My great-grandfather was their son.
